• Seward Park
• Sunday, November 8 3:00pm

Inspired by Valentine de Saint Point’s manifestos and William Henry Seward’s ardent anti-slavery position, people will be invited to march through the streets of the Lower East Side with picket signs that proclaim their own intention.

Lisa Kirk (b. New York City, 1967) makes work that investigates the contradictions of consumerism and the aestheticization of formerly politically radical signifiers. She has exhibited throughout the United States and internationally. In 2007, a solo exhibition of her work, REVOLUTION!, traveled from PS1 Contemporary Art Center, to Galeria Comercial, San Juan Puerto Rico, and Steven Wolf Fine Art, San Francisco, CA.

Please go to here to join. Presented by Invisible-Exports. Part of Lust Weekend.

2pm to 5pm: Curating 101 presented by Cathy Byrd, MAP Executive Director

This Fall, MAP offers a communal platform for three inventive projects, including our first-ever sound art exhibition—The Art of the Set Up: Sound Objects as Artifacts, curated by Shelly Blake-Plock. Rachel Sitkin conceived In Our Nature: Artists Reflect on the Altered Landscape to feature artists who mine the outfall of urban development. Margaret Winslow’s ideas materialize in Soft Space: Architecture in Contemporary Art, a set of drawings and installations that explore physical and psychological nuances in the built environment.

Each year, MAP’s Curators’ Incubator Program renews the opportunity for Maryland Art Place to become a working laboratory for aesthetic experiments. Curators’ Incubator provides a creative space for the region’s aspiring curators to develop and present their concepts. MAP guides the curatorial process, beginning with an open call that encourages proposals and ending in the presentation of selected projects. MAP’s Program Advisory Committee took on the review and selection of our 2009 curators and MAP staff facilitated the production of the exhibition and companion catalogue.

OF NOTE: Programs for our Seventh Annual Curators’ Incubator will be presented on scheduled Thursdays at 5:00 pm this fall for RUSH HOUR: Art Beats Traffic. RUSH HOUR is an invitation to those who work and live in the downtown neighborhood to visit MAP at the end of the workday.

Audrey Hasen Russell takes a cue from the landscape visible from the Sunroom’s windows with Slant Branch Souvenir (Thinkin’ on You), a large-scale installation. Comprised of three sculptural components, these works combine to collectively register the rolling hillside and woodlands that make up the room’s distinctive views. In one corner, a leaning plywood structure upholstered in mustard-colored fleece that stands in for gently sloping wedge of topography is embedded with green glass and white twigs that resemble indeterminate organic growth. An arch made with sticks has the look of a young sapling, while a clutch of glasswork stationed nearby captures the microcosmic intimacy of a flower garden.

Russell’s work is also informed by childhood memories of a family farm in the Appalachian foothills of east Tennessee. Consequently, she chooses familiar materials that reference a distant nostalgic notion of the bygone, such as fleece and Depression-era glassware. At the same time, she resists a literal depiction of the imagery of her personal history. A heavy beam and an antique window pane possess a barn-like aesthetic, but they also suggest a tree trunk and a jutting precipice. By deftly navigating this boundary between representation and abstraction, Russell delves into the slippery nature of memory itself, and speaks to the persistent impulse to idealize days gone by. The resulting work is suffused with emotional resonance, provoking narratives of both comfort and loss.

Part 2: August 11 – August 29

Including Registry Artist: Jamison Sarleschi

Entropy runs through September 12th, 2009

Including Registry Artist: Deborah Zlotsky

Breaking down form into abstraction can create a powerful paradigm shift. It necessitates a special eye and, when successfully done, opens an artwork to greater and more diverse interpretations. Distilling materiality to intangibility is the focus of Entropy, Lana Santorelli Gallery’s latest exhibition. Works range from enigmatic and ethereal, with drawings in smoke by Jagdish Prabhu and Heidi Thompson’s intensely intuitive paintings, to the more earthly visceral oils by Deborah Zlotsky and Elaine Lorenz’s anthropomorphic stoneware sculptures.
